A question

There are no scheduled full scans with Avast and resident shields are always on. All of the other virus programs seem to want to scan daily. Are full scans really neccessary often when you are protected in real time?

- If the internet works faster, it may be that avast is not providing the same level of protection. - alcaray - 7/30/2009 1:28:08 AM
  - That's true, it found a trojan on it's first scan but that doesn't mean a lot - FrankC - 7/30/2009 2:59:20 AM

        You need one once in the beginning, at least. - alcaray - 7/30/2009 5:20:25 PM
        
        A thorough scan was part of set up - FrankC - 7/30/2009 6:32:55 PM
